7 SEVEN 7The Responsible Decision 1. HARRY S. TRUMAN:

The buck stops here. THE I will not let my history control my destiny. 2. The Guided Decision KING SOLOMON: I will seek wisdom. God moves mountains to create the opportunity of His choosing. It is

up to you to be ready to move yourself. Andrews 3. The Active Decision JOSHUA CHAMBERLAIN: I am a person of action. Andy Many people move out of the way for a person on the run; others are caught up in his wake. 4. The Certain Decision CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS: I have a decided heart. Criticism, condemnation, and complaint are creatures of the wind. They come and go on the wasted breath of lesser beings and have no power over me. 5. The Joyful Decision ANNE FRANK: Today I will choose to be happy. Our very lives are fashioned by choice. First we make choices. Then our choices make us. 6. The Compassionate Decision ABRAHAM LINCOLN: I will greet this day with a forgiving spirit. You will find that God rarely uses a person whose main concern is what

others are thinking. KIT 7. The Persistent Decision GABRIEL: I will persist without exception. Reason can only be stretched so far, but faith has no limits. The only SPEAKER’S limit to your realization of tomorrow is the doubt you hold fast today.
